Setting Up a Bluebird Nesting Box at Landis Arboretum

Have you ever wanted to put up a bluebird nest box on your property but weren’t sure how, where, or when?  Successfully attracting nesting bluebirds depends on habitat, timing, nest box design and installation, and simple but important maintenance.  That may sound like a lot to think about but it’s not hard.  We’ll discuss what you need to do step-by-step.   For those interested in building their own nest box we can discuss that too.  Our goal is for you to learn what you need to set up your own nest boxes at home in time for this year’s breeding season.  This event may include a short walk to some nearby bluebird nest boxes to illustrate the points being made.  Please dress for the weather.  Free post-class consultation for attendees.
